" Visited for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The salad I ordered was fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous for the price. I really appreciated how kind the staff was during our visit. The restaurant's ambiance made it a great spot to unwind. If I had to nitpick, the wait was a bit longer than anticipated, but the food came out beautifully plated. I will definitely return sooner rather than later. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The French last week for a cozy dinner, and I was not let down. The flavors were off the charts, especially my duck dish of the day! The only downside was the pricing; it felt a bit steep but perhaps justified by the quality. Our server was attentive but could have been a bit warmer in demeanor. The atmosphere was quite lovely! It felt perfect for a romantic evening. I would absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, this restaurant will definitely be on our list for future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, The French is a must-visit for the foodie lovers out there! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and appreciated. I ordered the foie gras which was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and our mains were perfect in both taste and portion. Our server even surprised us with complimentary drinks! It's clear they place immense care into their service and meals. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe I waited this long to try The French! It's a gem in Hamilton. The server was friendly and offered wine pairings that perfectly complemented our meals.

The ambiance was warm and inviting. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience and can't wait to return for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional birthday dinner at The French! From start to end, everything was brilliantly executed. The soufflé was incredible, and my main course of lamb was delightful. My friends ordered different dishes, and each one received praise for its quality and taste. The wine recommendations were also spot on, really rounding out the meal. The decor created a lovely ambiance, making it feel like a true celebration. I couldn't have picked a better place! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I went to The French for our anniversary, and it was absolutely romantic. The ambiance was beautifully set with candlelight. I ordered the scallops, which were cooked perfectly while my partner had the veal, which he said was fantastic. We enjoyed the meal thoroughly; everything was seasoned to perfection. Would recommend this place for any special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)
